Life is a journey that should be lived, loved and experienced fully every day. As our society continues to globalize and we see more H&M´s and McDonald´s signs and hear more popular music no matter where in the world we are, it is increasingly important to remind ourselves of this and to seek people and places that will support new kn…

Born and raised in Homewood, IL, about 25 miles south of Chicago, I grew up traveling with my family and have developed an insatiable desire to experience as much of the world as possible. I graduated from Loyola University Chicago in August 2017 with a BA in International Studies and a minor Asian Studies, having taken a majority of my classes abroad. I am passionate about immersive experiences and experiential learning and believe they are the best way to learn. I had the immense opportunity to study in Belize, El Salvador, Tunisia, Mexico, China and Korea through faculty-led programs and studied abroad in Vietnam (Fall 2016), Argentina, Peru and Chile (Spring 2017) and Spain (Summer 2017), finishing my degree with an internship at a Battered Women's Shelter in Haifa, Israel. I have spent the majority of the past 2.5 years traveling and am excited to see how I will continue to grow personally and professionally as I complete a year of teaching in Quito, Ecuador and continue on my journey. With 47 countries and counting, there's no telling what's in store for me next.
